Just out of curiosity, has anyone else maintained their shrines from last year's Dia de los Muertos?

You got an opening soon? [Okay, so she hasn't been good about upkeep, but even she realizes right now she was a bit of a mess before she got all the bad news.]

Adjusting to the situation. Injuries are healing.

[There's a pause before she give in to the concerned impulse.] You?

[Six approaches, carefully eying the surroundings for any potential surprises.] Why here?

[inmylight_comdr]

[York's there, somehwere, among the other residents, but Kat's sitting infront of her own tombstone, Kat S-320, and she motions to it.] I've been here since January.

The castle made one of the residents into the goddess Isis, who kidnapped others and attempted to resurrect Osiris with sacrifices. The other residents were able to stop her before she fully succeeded, but not before myself and six others had been ritualistically stabbed through the heart. [Clinical, straightforward. For her it wasn't so much facing death that had haunted her, but being helpless before hand.]

Because of magic, there was nothing I could do. I can guarantee that, as Spartans, we've never been in this kind of situation before; to be totally and utterly incapable of tippng the course of action. If you prepare yourself for anything here, it's the fact that the castle will find a way for you to fail.

[That gets a long thoughtful pause from Six. Especially as she thinks about what had happened before arrival at the castle. The weapon about to fall and end her life.]

I understand, Two. Trust me.

[inmylight_comdr]

[Kat pushes to her feet and places a firm hand on Six's shoulder, that special brand of Spartan affection.] It's good to have you here, Six.

[More than you know.]

[lonenoble]

[Six returns the gesture without hesitation.] Good to be here, Two. Very good.
